This study aimed to evaluate DOX•HCl loaded P(DLLA-CO:60:40) nanoformulations with a copolymer of F127 as a potential drug delivery system for cancer. DOX • HCl was encapsulated in nanoformulations of Poly DL-lactic acid co castor oil 60:40, P(DLLA-CO:60:40) polymer with the copolymer/stabilizer Pluronic® F127. The mean diameter of the cylindrical rod shape of the nanoformulation particles was 248±2.4-260±3.2 nm with an acceptable poly dispersibility of 0.29-0.33 and a smooth surface as visualized by DSC, SEM and XRD displayed that DOX•HCl was present as an disordered crystalline or amorphous state in the nanoformulations. The nanoformulations showed a steady pattern of drug discharge for 24 hours. F-3 and F-4 formulations had IC50 values of 3.2±0.03 and 1.98±0.08 mcg/ml while the free drug inhibition concentration of IC 50 was 2.2 mcg/ml. The drug-loaded nanoformulations showed significant cytotoxic effects on MCF-7 breast cancer cell lines.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
